Common Sense in Society

By Dulcineia Gomes

Society can be fun and good, but it can be a bit cynical. With its different communities and organization and races. Because although the law says we are to be treated the same, our skin color gets in the way of that. Although people try their hardest to make society as adaptable to all, blindly it still holds discrimination on its corners. We can try and shake it off, but the residue remains from generations after generations. We would not have societies that we have today full of cultures, but unfortunately, we still have the pain, the scars, and the bloody shadows of the past lurking over our shoulders. Its bittersweet but also mind boggling. The younger generations will continue to create new paths, but also need the wisdom of the older generations, because it seems like the younger generations tend to go astray. But the younger generations need to be wise when learning the old ways that they do-not learn the negatives such as racism and prejudice.
This book gives an insight on how societal problems can affect families in this nation.

INTRODUCTION

There is not much common sense to the naked eyes on what the bible means. The word of God is understood when you are being guided by the holy spirit. Without it, is like reading just a book.

That is why it is important to pray before you begin to read the Word of God. The word of God is powerful that you need the holy spirit to understand it. I mean understand it in your heart, rather than just through the words. The holy spirit is like a protection or gatekeeper (figure of speech) which means, that you can read the Bible one hundred timed and not understand a single thing if your heart is not in it. Although there have been many credible scholars or prophets in history, there has also been many that were misled into misreading and misrepresented the word of God. So although we all need guidance in the beginning of our walk with God, we got to let go and be on the journey with God alone. That is why it is called a relationship with God. Just as a baby is nurtured to adulthood, we all begin as babies in the walk with God. And even as we get old, the learning does not stop. So this book is to give an insight on the daily struggles that Christians face in their walk-in society. It shows the difference between common sense, from a Christians perspective and worldly people. (The second part of the book talks about the biblical perspective.)

God gave us common sense, courtesy and respect Use it!

It is with embarrassment to be living in this era with this generation. The 21 century has got to be the century with the most fucking idiots alive. Everyone wants to be with the next trend. They know everything about technology but the slightest clue about life. They rather not offend anyone instead of standing up for someone being abused. They rather praise an offender but condemn some for mistreating an animal. When did animals become more important than its master? When did animals get more rights than minorities? I’m for animal rights but let’s get rights for every human being before getting to the animal kingdom. It’s like everyone is suddenly went numb.

Like they forget what their ancestors did so that they can have a mediocre life.

Racism is both macro and on a micro level. It is unseen to the ones with their eye’s clothes. But it’s clearly on the micro level, but everyone is worried about being polite that its quietly killing them. Killing them like diabetes and other illnesses do you our mental and psychological state. The stress Is slowly distracting them, from realizing that they are hurting. Failing to see and recognize your oppression, is detrimental.

We are fixated on the next smart phone, that we forgot.

They forgot their ancestors getting attacked with water hoses, or just the thought of being locked in cages and set on fire.

Or working in farms and plantations for little or no pay.

Or those who risked their lives to come to the land of the great, just so their future off springs can have better lives.

All the civil protests and war that were fought. Those who left their homes and families to come to America. Should we not have more respect for their sacrifices? We are not worthy to enjoy or reap from what those that came before us did. We are existing rather than making a mark.

I’m speaking about every race. We don’t know what to do or to be because we are so desensitized. We have been thought to be a selfish and individualistic society.

But we can only be so much as individuals. As individuals we will fall or cave. The more individualistic we become, the easier it is for us to come for each other. The more technology we come up with, doesn’t always mean good. Many today are profiting off scamming millions across the world. And technology is making it super easy for the scammers.

America is known for being great. Known as the best nation, to be successful. It’s known for its best Doctors, lawyers, Universities and the place to have the best opportunities. So, knowing that, why are we punish for wanting the best? For demanding respect from others? Nothing good comes easy. So why is that fact that if you are a fighter, of your life and those you love, why does that make you a rebel? I mean it’s not like success is handed to you. This nation is great because of fighters of the past. People who speak out when they see people doing wrong, it is because they too want to make America greater, but for everyone, not just the rich.

Birds of a feather flock together is a popular saying, it is taken out of context. We tend to notice the humor in the phrase but fail to notice the truth and relevance of it. We fail to take notice when we wonder why people change, why people turn on you and what causes them to change.

When you introduce humor to many things, it prevents many from seeing its importance. Example a wealth person may be snobby to the poor. The wealthy person may not intend to come across as a snob, but because of the struggles and hard work through the years, it might have changed them. Now they associate with other wealthy people, because their thinking patterns may relate.
